Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salted egg yolks
- 1 cup Low-fat milk
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 tablespoon Canola oil
- 1 small Onion, finely chopped
- 8 leaves Curry leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Low-sodium soy sauce
Directions
Step 1
Begin by steaming the salted egg yolks. Place them on a heatproof dish in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes or until they are solid and orange in color. Allow to cool slightly, then mash with a fork until it becomes a fine paste.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, add the canola oil. Once hot, add finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and translucent, about 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add minced garlic and curry leaves to the saucepan, cooking until the garlic is fragrant—approximately 1 minute.
Step 4
Mix in the mashed salted egg yolks and stir well to combine with the aromatic mixture.
Step 5
Reduce the heat to low, then pour in the low-fat milk and stir continuously to integrate the ingredients smoothly. Simmer gently for another 2 minutes.
Step 6
Whisk in the low-fat Greek yogurt until you achieve a creamy consistency. Ensure the yogurt is fully incorporated without lumps.
Step 7
Add freshly ground black pepper and low-sodium soy sauce, stirring thoroughly to blend the flavors.
Step 8
Continue to cook the mixture on low heat for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly and flavors to meld.
Step 9
Remove from the heat and let it cool for a minute before serving. Drizzle over your favorite dishes as a delightful low-fat accompaniment.
